Good morning,

My family and I said “YES” to God seventeen years ago. It feels like a lifetime ago and also just a short time ago. We could not be more grateful for every moment.

Thank you for the way you have loved us and cared for our family. Thank you for the way that you love others when it’s not easy. Thank you for loving me as your pastor when it was not easy. Thank you for letting me be my quirky, oddball self. Thank you for letting me into your lives and struggles.

I’m a better person, husband, father, and pastor because of you. Thank you for your willingness to take big risks and be stretched. Thank you for the way you have become a church for all people.

I want you to know how much I love you and what a blessing it has been to be your pastor. Thank you just seems to be to small a word to fully express my gratitude. But THANK YOU. And, THANKS BE TO GOD for the future before you.

I will always believe in you and be praying for you. This Sunday I’m preaching a sermon tilted One More Time .

See you Sunday,
David
